The Maximize Your Metabolism program is a Nationwide program. Here's what some of the most successful participants are saying about it.
Katie Davis, Elizabethtown, KY
Lost 13 pounds, 3% Body Fat, 3 inches in waist and 4 inches in hips.
“As a person who used to eat anything she wanted without seeing it reflected back at her in the mirror, upping the size of my clothes with each change of the season finally took its toll. I was an athlete growing up and throughout college, so exercising was pretty much a way of life.
Once I put the sports behind me, I pretty much left the exercise behind too. It didn’t seem to make too much of a difference at first, but as you might guess, that soon subsided to the horrible foods I fed my body.
Eating out and making bad food choices soon became evident in my appearance and health. I just told myself, “This was not going to cut it anymore!” I felt horrible! I couldn’t stand to shop or pay money for the size of clothes I needed to fit my body. I began wearing the “comfortable” outfits (you know the ones, big t-shirt, jeans, baggier clothes) and declining when asked to go out with my friends, because in reality, I wasn’t comfortable at all. I lost a lot of my confidence and drive to even be me—which, let me tell you, isn’t a person that doesn’t get out and socialize! I wanted to be out with my friends and I wanted to feel good about myself, but my weight and the consequences of the added pounds just kept dragging me down.
My health was suffering... .I had high cholesterol, I was always tired, and I was stressed out a lot, just to name a few examples! And don’t get me started about trying to keep up with my stepdaughter, baby niece and nephews and cousins—it was next to impossible. I would be worn out before they even really got started. A day at work was about all I wanted to (or could) handle—as soon as I got home (after going out to dinner, of course!), it was lounging time until I had to get up and do it again the next day!
Well, not anymore!! I am proud to say that I have turned my life around. After months and months of wishing I looked like the person wearing a size 8, I decided to work my way toward BEING a person that wears a size 8. I’m not there... .yet, but in due time!
After I had been telling myself that I could do it on my own for more than two years, it was time to face the realization that IT WASN’T GOING TO HAPPEN! After learning the ins and outs of the course, I was sold--this was for me! I just made the decision that it was time to change for the better and if I wasn’t going to do it on my own, I needed the guidance and support to help me do it, and do it right. Thanks to the valuable information I learned in this six-week class, I am now more than 13 pounds lighter, much healthier, and much more active. I feel like a brand new person!
Eating out for the majority of my meals is a thing of the past. My diet has been transformed into one that works for my body and not against it! The changes in my appetite and cravings are amazing. I no longer crave the sweet desserts; I now crave a piece of fruit instead. I haven’t even really craved chocolate in a long time---which I used to eat A LOT! I cut my food portions by more than half and I’m still full. I eat often, and I eat well! I learned what to eat, how often, and why.
As soon as I implemented the program, I saw immediate results. My body changed, my clothes began fitting differently, and I suddenly found myself pulling at my clothes (and not to stretch them out!) so that they weren’t falling down. Before I knew it, some of my “old” clothes began to fit and look good again. I have a ways to go before I reach my ultimate goal, but without this course, I wouldn’t be anywhere near reaching my goal. Now, I understand what I need to do and I CAN do it. This course was the best decision I have made for myself in a long time! I wish I had done it years ago!”

Judy Mather, Age 50
“My energy level is up...I weigh less than I have in 10 years...I feel
better....I'm meeting my goals faster than expected.”
“The Metabolism Makeover has taught me a lot about nutrition and lifestyle habits. I didn’t know what to expect when I began. At age 51, this was the first time I had ever attempted a “weight loss” program. I knew something needed to change as the pains in my knees and back grew worse each day.
After about week 3, the girls at work were starting to notice the change. Even my husband was noticing the difference. I began to reach my goals much faster than I expected for at week 6 my body fat had dropped 4%!
After 12-weeks, I am extremely satisfied with my results. I started out at 203 pounds and 44% body fat. I am 20 pounds lighter and feel better than I have in 10 years. I have gone down 2 pant sizes since I started this course. I plan to continue using what I have learned for the rest of my life.”

Laura LaRue, Age 35
Lost 4% body fat (8 pounds fat) She lost 9 overall inches
With 4 1/4 inches in her waist!
“I now curve IN instead of out!! !”
Laura went from a size 12 to a size 6 in just 12 weeks!
“My hopes at the onset of the Metabolism Makeover was to improve my energy levels, feel better and fit into smaller clothes. As you can see, I have exceeded the goals I originally set for myself. I never in my life thought I could achieve this weight. I feel better than I’ve ever felt in my entire life! I attribute my success – not to just one thing – for I couldn’t have felt this good by just eating supportively and I could not have lost the body fat by simply exercising, it’s a combination of both and you must have the right attitude to go with it.
I used to view exercise as a way to burn more calories so I could eat more. Now I actually look forward to my workouts for they leave me feeling so energized.
Food tastes so different. I just do not crave the junk food. I actually appreciate and respect the flavor of real, natural foods... .I thought I’d never say that.
The biggest obstacle I have overcome is my battle with emotional eating. I have always been an emotional eater. Until now, I never dreamed I could break this destructive habit. Now that my family has adopted these healthy habits, I realize what a powerful impact I have on their health and well being.
For the first time, I feel like this is something I can live with. I will never go back to the old way of living.”

“I thought I was doing everything right!”
“The Metabolism Makeover can help you reach your goal by pin pointing the areas that need improvement. I started off believing I knew all about strength training, cardio and eating properly. Heck, I was even using a nutritional journal I purchased from GNC! Well, I thought I was doing everything right - WRONG - I was about 1,000 calories too low, putting my body in starvation mode. I was doing cardio for over an hour 3 times a week, also not good.
With the Metabolism Makeover I was shown a new way. I started the program at 292 lbs, 25% body fat. My percent body fat was high even though I played football and frequented the gym. That alone tells you I was doing something wrong and I got help. I was shown the proper amount to eat and received guidance on how to correctly workout. I now weigh 272 and have 19% body fat! Yes, 20 lbs and a 6% body fat decrease. My waist went from 46 inches to 39 inches. VERY NICE!!
This program not only helped me to change my body, but increase my self confidence too. The Metabolism Makeover is more than a just for weight loss, it can be designed just for you, to help you get started on your fitness goals and new way of life.”

David Witt, age 58
Lost 19 pounds, 5 % Body Fat and 5 inches in his waist
“Shortly after I began seeing a personal trainer, I broke both of my ankles and was unable to be active for a good three months. I became tired of feeling fat and lazy. Sure I was able to lose a good 10 pounds with the help of my trainer, but I just wasn’t satisfied. I’ve tried a few programs in the past and had a basic understanding of what weight loss was all about. So, when I enrolled in the Metabolism Makeover course, I knew what to expect. I knew the biggest impact and what I needed most would be the support of a group and the accountability for my actions.
I noticed results within the first week. I had a lot more energy which motivated me to work even harder. The whole process of weight loss is not about shrinking the numbers on the scale, it’s about losing fat. I sure noticed this in the inches that I lost, especially in my abs. This is the process I needed to embrace in order to feel fit and in control of my body.
I was most surprised by the amount of food I was able to eat. If you want to lose the fat, you need to keep your body fueled – using quality foods – all day long. This was quite the opposite of my once or twice a day eating habits.
It feels great to finally achieve results and know that I will keep them. Even though I am down to the weight I wanted to be, I know the journey will continue as I live the new habits I have created."

Jennie Gray, Elizabethtown, KY
“After having three kids, I didn't feel like I had the shape and tone that I wanted. I'd read a lot about eating "clean" and resistance training. I was ready to see if that was the way to reduce my body fat percentage. For months I floated around, halfway eating the way I knew I should. I was doing resistance training three days a week and hours of cardio a week. The day I began my new program, I weighed 132 with 19.1% body fat. I told myself that if it went down to 18% I would reward myself with a new pair of shoes for the gym. I followed the program faithfully, never missing a workout and never deviating from my diet. I even gave up my Diet Cokes. My body began to take shape almost immediately and I became more pumped up each day, when the weight that I could lift increased. When my fitness professional took my measurements about a month later and I was BLOWN AWAY to see that my body fat had dropped to 14.3%. Plus, I had lost an inch and a half off of each thigh. I was in total shock, and absolutely fired up. The Metabolism Makeover along with the guidance of my personal trainer has made all the difference in my results and my motivation.”

Melanie Coleman, Age 19
Lost 24 pounds and 5% Body Fat
“Diets were never my thing. I’d go on one, get hungry and give up, pig out, and then gain more weight than I lost. It was hard to get motivated while my skinny friends could eat whatever they wanted and not gain a pound. Nevertheless, I knew I had gained so much weight over a year that I had to keep trying.
When I first started Metabolism Makeover I was reluctant, because I loved my sweets and Fazoli’s was almost an every day thing. However, I was relieved to find out that I could create menus according to what I liked (minus the processed and junk food) and I would get to eat six meals a day. I liked the healthy food I was eating and I felt good about myself after I ate it.
Doubt surfaced again when I wasn’t losing as much weight as I thought I would. I thought that all diets are supposed to work fast. Then, my fitness coach reminded me that this wasn’t a diet I was on, it was a lifestyle... a permanent change. The difference is that after the Metabolism Makeover, I’ll keep the weight off and keep it off by making helping choices (opposed to starving myself).
There’s no healthy short cut to losing weight. After my metabolism and my body adjusted to the drastic change, the pounds and inches melted off. My self-confidence progressed and that forced me to keep going.
I’m not sure I could have ever pushed myself to the extent that I did without the help of my Fitness Professional. Twenty-five pounds lighter.... I feel thinner, happier, and healthier. With the exception of a few Hershey kisses now and then I don’t even miss my old eating habits. I’d take wheat thins over Pringles any day.”

Kristen Otte, Age 58
The Metabolism Makeover has helped me changed my life
I can think of no statement that comes close to the above, in terms of depth of impact, or lasting meaning to any person.
My epiphany came when I was sick and tired of being sick and tired! Every person like me knows what I mean by that. I was obese with arthritic knees and back. I couldn’t walk far without stopping and “resting” by leaning against a wall or sitting still for a few minutes. I had recently retired and I simply could not enjoy my life with my husband, grandchildren or friends in the state of health I was in. I decided I hated my quality of life. I wanted to become stronger and wanted so baldly to learn how to eat to live, NOT live to eat. I had always used food as an emotional comfort, not for nutrition, or life itself. That’s not even beginning to mention what I saw or felt when I looked in the mirror. I had ignored that frightening image for far too long.
I engaged the most important part of my body in making the decision to change – my BRAIN. I was determined to become more fit, improve my health and build more stamina.
I wasn’t going into this course trying to simply “lose weight”. I have been on countless diets and LOST all the weight I needed to (well over 100 lbs. total). But I always ended up in the body I call “bad-shape skinny”. I was thin but had absolutely no energy, no stamina, no strength or less pain than I had when I was flat out fat! I had just not developed the habits that would help me maintain the weight loss either. The result was always the same... I’d put back on the weight and then some... even more than I had worked so hard to lose. This life-zapping cycle had to end. I knew I needed a TOTAL change in how I live. Most importantly, I KNEW I NEEDED HELP.
Help is something that is very hard for me to accept and even harder to ask for. But I was so tired of looking and feeling like a failure. I swallowed my pride, took a step back from feeling independent and always giving to others, and went in search of a solution, one with a system of support.
I found that and more with the Metabolism Makeover staff. They were actually concerned with my overall well-being and how I needed to reach the goals that were important to me. They wanted to see me succeed and were willing too go above and beyond to help me.
After completing Metabolism Makeover, I have more lean muscle that has helped to tone and define my new body – absolutely no bulk! I have more strength than I ever thought possible! I have greatly improved my posture and my overall outlook on life has changed. With my increased strength and energy, as well as my continued weight loss, I have significantly reduced my pain level caused by arthritis.
Certainly, I have been excited to buy new, smaller sized clothes – I just bought a pair of size 16 jeans – not only did I used to wear a expandable size 26... .but I haven’t been able to wear jeans in well over 15 years!
I LOVE my newfound energy and outlook on life. The comments shared by friends and family are astounding. From “You are looking good, what are you doing” to “My God you look bright and fresh!” What a powerful statement, for to me that meant I was the opposite of old and tired!!! But the most important lesson I have learned from this course is a completely new way of thinking – how I eat, how I move and how I feel about food and exercise. Not once, did I ever feel deprived, or guilty, while following this new way of life. The most exciting part is that I am continuing to lose weight! Even though I have a ways to go, I have the know-how and the confidence to get there. I will NEVER go back to my old habits, it’s simply NOT an option– the “old way” of living just doesn’t make sense, it doesn’t work, it’s not what is important to me.
I no longer am ashamed of how I look. I can now look in the mirror and see a woman looking back at me. Thank you for giving me such a wonderful, life changing experience.

Sandy Durfee, Age 47
Lost 10 pounds, 4 inches in waist and 3 inches in hips
“Even though I had always enjoyed exercise and made it a priority in my life, my weight had continued to be an issue. It seemed that over the years I gained weight, not just from the birth of each of my children, but also from my poor eating habits. I began to dread my doctor visits as each time I was warned that I was at risk for high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease. My doctor kept telling me that it didn’t matter how I lose weight, as long as I take it off. This only scared me into unhealthy bouts of dieting. I tried Atkins, Trim Spa and other diets pills and juice diets but after each not only was I heavier, I also felt worse! I had no energy, I hated the way I looked and I was depressed. My life was no longer mine to control.
I had a new grandbaby and I so desperately wanted to play an active role in her life. I finally decided something needed to change but I was unaware of what to do. I enrolled in the Metabolism Makeover and I was on my way. I learned everything from how my body works and what I need to eat to be strong and healthy. The best part....It was surprising easy! I am never hungry and I eat more now than I have in years! I now understand why Ii gain weight if I deprive my body of what it needs. I enjoy my life and feel in control. I feel great and look wonderful. Thank You for saving me!”

In just 12 weeks, Lois Hardesty has lost 3% Body Fat
(12 pounds of unwanted fat!) & 8 Overall Inches!
“I enjoy the comments I hear from others. People are amazed at what a difference I have made in my weight loss efforts. More importantly, I have found a strategy that I can use for the rest of my life. I have finally embraced the fact that changing my body is a process and it just cannot happen overnight.
Little by little, I have made changes to what I eats, the way I eat and how I spend my time in and out of the gym. I have relied upon my fitness journal to help create more accountability to myself and help me to gain insight into many of the habits that had been holding me back. I can say with confidence that I have finally conquered mindless eating.
I am most surprised by the fact that I had a few set backs during the 12 week course, yet I was able to continue to see results. I am thrilled for just 12 short weeks ago; I was headed in the other direction. Today I am filled with the knowledge, courage and confidence to continue down the path that will lead me to my ultimate weight loss goal.”

Lost 15 pounds, 3% Body Fat, 2 inches in waist & over 3 inches in hips!
“When I started the Metabolism Makeover, I was very skeptical.
My friend told me it worked for her. So I said, OK, I'll give it a try. After all, what I had been doing, just wasn’t working anymore.
I was surprised to learn that nutrition can be 70 to 80% responsible for my weight and I thought, yeah right. But I was determined to eat all the recommended foods and at the right times and to honestly try to prove this system wrong, because I didn't really believe.
In fact, I purposely didn't exercise to see if nutrition alone would or could make that much difference. Well, as you can see, the Metabolism Makeover proved me wrong, and I am thankful for that lesson! I became more of a believer as a couple pounds a week kept slowly coming off. Little by little I was able to fit back into my favorite clothes!
Now, I am really anxious to go whole hog with the exercise to BOOST all that I have learned from this amazing program. If only I had been following ALL of the guidelines from the beginning, I'd already be close to where I want to be permanently. But at least I’ve reached my short term goal and I an have no doubt I’ll be able to achieve and maintain my ultimate goal.
I have a beautiful size 6 dress I'd love to wear for a party. I want my husband to take me dancing to some fabulous place. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BELIEVING IN ME."

Sonia H. Miller, Age 38
“Being overweight I have tried many, many things to loose weight. You name it, I’ve tried it.....Nutri-System, Weight Watchers, the latest diet pills and just plain starvation. I tried all of these and more hoping that I could loose weight and have the body and energy I wanted.
My weight loss journey had drug on for a little more than 10 years. Feelings of hopelessness grew after trying all of these things and discovering that none of them worked for me. Even though I initially I lost some weight, I never felt good or had the energy to take care of my son or enjoy activities with my family. I always felt hungry, deprived and weak. The most devastating effect was after each weight loss strategy, the weight always came back... along with extra 5-10 pounds of weight. I was disgusted with myself and ready to accept the thought that weight loss was just not for me.
Then I found the Metabolism Makeover. Each class helped me to realize that my goals could be achieved by setting realistic goals, making a conscious decision to take action and understanding how the foods I was putting into my body affected my ability to see results. After 6 weeks into the course, I finally started seeing - and feeling - the results that I have always wanted for myself. Along with my commitment to add cardiovascular exercise and weight resistant training to my weekly routine, I finally have the energy, knowledge and the confidence to reach my long term weight loss goals. Thank you.”

“I have made SO much progress in the last few weeks and will enjoy continuing my journey for the rest of my life. This weekend I ran a 5k marathon. Finish time was 30 min 28 secs!!! I placed tenth in my age group. I am now training for the next 5k in a couple of months. I initially set my ultimate goal to be able to run again.... I accomplished that and more! By the end of the year I want to ease into running a 10k. In just 12 weeks I went from a size 16 to a 12 and went from 210lbs to 191lbs. I am proud of my progress and I believe I can reach my next goal by Sept. of this year. Thanks for the help, information and support.”

Rose Huffine
“I thought eating just one meal a day would help.”
“I can’t praise Metabolism Makeover Program enough. My results just amaze me. Since I turned 50, I hated the way I looked. I was in a size 12 pants and was wearing size “large” shirts. For me that was too big, I saw no end in sight. I tried to loose the weight and tone up by myself with no results. I thought eating just one meal a day would help. I didn’t know I was setting myself up for failure.
The Metabolism Makeover opened my eyes and taught me the right way to have the body I so badly desired. In just 12 weeks I went from a size 12 to a size 8. I lost an inch in my waist and two inches in my thighs. I have learned how to eat correctly by eating several small balanced meals during the day.
My husband just cannot believe how much better I look and feel about myself. Now that’s a great feeling. I walk with my head up high and I am having fun buying fun new clothes. I AM SO PROUD OF MYSELF. That’s a great feeling.
Thanks for being there for me and helping me achieve my dreams.”
